Good Grand National trial imo. Jumped well, likely to be top weight and therefore let in around 5 lbs well-in and could improve a bit more given an extreme test of stamina.
I’m with you on this one, Ginge. Don Poli has long looked tailor-made for the National and I can’t wait to see him run in it.
Here’s some stats for you Ginge
If backing Don Poli blind in the last 6 races you would have lost £6 to a £ stake
Not the probable winner at 9/4 but if he ran the race again 100 times his probability would be that he’d win a fraction over 30 times whereas in real life he’d win about none.
Agree about the National though if they double the distance…..

What’s going on is obvious. DP will get dropped 2/3 pounds for the down royal run, will return from his ‘hunting’ as fat as a fool, run in the Lexus or something and get beaten easily again, possibly one more heavy defeat at some stage in February, get dropped another couple of pounds and get a mark of about 155 for the Grand National and carry about 11st 4. Will turn up at aintree looking much fitter with cheekpieces applied, be heavily backed, and run a big race.
Well the Irish Gold Cup has since passed. Your predictions , agreed by others has been spot on
